I've read a post on reddit by a guy who said that he befriended a really hot lesbian lady who became his "wing woman" and he got a lot more numbers and dates from it.

I've also heard similar things from other guys where they had a platonic woman friend be their wing man.

Does this actually work?

Apparently this is supposed to lower women's guards since women tend to be more cautious of strange men. It's not that it makes you more attractive but makes women feel comfortable when you bring a woman with you, especially if she's really attractive and it gives you a chance to talk to them.

Is this actually a thing? Would it really make a difference if I approached a woman with another woman that was really hot, alongside me vs just approaching by myself? How well could this work?
